BORIS JOHNSON rejected claims that he was acting anti-democratic - insisting Remainers are the ones who are blocking democracy by refusing to allow a general election.

Boris Johnson has denied acting anti-democratic by proroguing Parliament before launching into an attack on Remainers for blocking an election. He spoke to viewers on his People’s PMQs, a weekly conversation with the British public hosted on social media. Mr Johnson said he had to "respectfully disagree" with the idea he was acting like a totalitarian in his approach to Brexit. Instead, he attacked rebel Remainers for refusing to vote for an election.
